Stormlight can be collected and stored in different things, the most common being Gemstones. The most common way to collect Stormlight in a Gemstone is to leave it outside during a Highstorm.{{book ref|sa1|11}} The amount of Stormlight collected is not directly proportional to the strength of the Highstorm.{{wob ref|11482}} The amount of Stormlight a Gemstone can hold is directly proportional to the size of the Gemstone.{{cite}} While Gemstones are fairly good containers for Stormlight, the cut and flaws in the Gemstone make it so Stormlight will leak out of the stone over time.{{wob ref|10415}} However, perfectly cut Gemstones can be perfect containers and seemingly hold Stormlight indefinitely.{{cite}}
A person can also collect and store Stormlight in their body, although not inherently. The person must have gained access to a magic system, such as through the Nahel Bond, to be able to store and use Stormlight directly.{{cite}} The most common process for drawing Stormlight into the body is through
Stormlight is an integral and essential part of Roshar's ecosystem, and as such its nature causes it to leave most any container, unlike [[Breath]] on [[Nalthis]] which is naturally sticky.{{wob ref|63}} As Stormlight is used, the amount in the container holding it will be depleted and it is used-up.{{cite}} However it is a renewable resource and will regenerate in the Spiritual Realm to start the process all over.{{wob ref|4266}}{{wob ref|11041}}
Stormlight can pass through solid matter, but only if the material is not overly thick. This allows the Stormlight to pass through the glass that holds Gemstones, or even containers made of stone other materials in a Highstorm to infuse the Gemstones.{{wob ref|3303}} Stormlight cannot pass through Aluminum.{{wob ref|8169}}
